BIRD WATCHING I did a video on the Cardinals bullpen a while back, but now I want to update and go deeper in exploring an important subject that will have a big influence — good or bad — on the team’s record in 2025. The 2024 Cardinals won 83 games...
BIRD WATCHING Good day to you. The Cardinals were off Monday, and it was a good time for a break. The spring-training grind tends to become tedious after the first two weeks, and once teams reach March, they can see the start of the regular season out there on the...
